This is the second part, you can find the first one here. So, I began and finished the coloring when ink got dry. Here in this post I'm showing all the process, please support me with an upvote if you like my art:)

Great work, congratulations. Chronos (greek Χρόνος = time) has a rather morbid tale in mythology. In short, being afraid of his children taking his place as the King, he took radical measures: just after their birth he swallowed them whole, imprisoning them inside him! Only his last son (Zeus) was spared thanks to his mother Rhea, and when the time was right Zeus took revenge for all his brothers & sisters.

That mean, vicious aspect of Chronos is evident in your painting, although you focus more on his aspect of time passing-by, which I believe is more related to Saturn, his Roman equivalent. Mythology is a great, limitless source for inspiration!

Thank you, I know Greek mythology well, studied it at university:)

Finally finished :D

Not that long, 5 hours of work, lol:)

Thanks @inber :)

Awesome step-by-step post! Chronos is pretty evil, but I love how you've illustrated him here as the colors really pop.


Just published a new post on the 5 most expensive paintings ever sold. Check it out! (If you want :) )

Thank you:) I'll check out:)

Interesting subject matter and composition :D

Thank you:) In fact I had a dream about it. Strange, but all the best compositions come to me at a sleep, and never when I try to invent them lol:)

I love that you show your artistic process! It's obvious that others feel the same way and I have seen many others copy your process!

Copying is the purest form of flattery!

Well, I show it exactly for this reason, so that someone could may be find something new for themselves. After all every artist will get his own style in the end (still seeking for mine, haha:). So I think copying is completely OK, after all earlier every artist started his way with copying his teachers art, and it's how they learned:)
